+1. **Set up API credentials**
+
+   1. Log $CLI_LONG into your $ACCOUNT_LONG:
+
+      ```shell
+      tiger auth login
+      ```
+      $CLI_LONG opens $CONSOLE_SHORT in your browser. Log in, then click `Authorize`. 
+
+      You can have a maximum of 10 active client credentials. If you get an error, open [credentials][rest-api-credentials]
+      and delete an unused credential. 
+
+   1. Select a $PROJECT_LONG:
+
+      ```terminaloutput
+      Auth URL is: https://console.cloud.timescale.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=lotsOfURLstuff
+      Opening browser for authentication...
+      Select a project:
+
+      > 1. Tiger Project (tgrproject)
+      2. YourCompany (Company wide project) (cpnproject)
+      3. YourCompany Department (dptproject)
+
+      Use ↑/↓ arrows or number keys to navigate, enter to select, q to quit  
+      ```  
+      If only one $PROJECT_SHORT is associated with your $ACCOUNT_SHORT, this step is not shown. 
+
+      Where possible, $CLI_LONG stores your authentication information in the system keychain/credential manager. 
+      If that fails, the credentials are stored in `~/.config/tiger/credentials` with restricted file permissions (600).
+      By default, $CLI_LONG stores your configuration in `~/.config/tiger/config.yaml`.
+
+1. **Test your authenticated connection to $CLOUD_LONG by listing $SERVICE_SHORTs**
+
+    ```bash
+    tiger service list
+    ```
+
+   This call returns something like:
+    - No $SERVICE_SHORTs:
+      ```terminaloutput
+      🏜️  No services found! Your project is looking a bit empty.
+      🚀 Ready to get started? Create your first service with: tiger service create
+      ```
+    - One or more $SERVICE_SHORTs:
+
+      ```terminaloutput
+      ┌────────────┬─────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────────┐
+      │ SERVICE ID │        NAME         │ STATUS │    TYPE     │    REGION    │     CREATED      │
